I read the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro in 2007 and loved it. Went to see the film last night.

It’s a scary story when you think about it but it’s also warm. I have to go back to the book again to see if the film has done justice. The author seems to think so so it must have though with novel-based films, the novel is almost always better.

Went to a screening of this very funny and clever film directed by Faith Akin.
And it’s got great music. Opening in Japanese theatres in January, 2011.
A film by Atsushi Ogata who is a friend of a friend. Quirky. And we need better actors!
As with the trailer, the entire film was English sub-titled.
